What the Heck am I Going to Write About?



What I need to Do

I need to come up with a few topics for an argumentative research project for class.
Now, I'm not quite an arguing aficionado, but this paper will change a thing or two.

What I Will Do

Now, I'll lay out the three topics I've got in mind:
  1. Is the digital method  for composing literature all that it's cracked up to be?
    • As a future educator, and now knowing that this course embraces technology, I feel it would be interesting to formulate an argument and see if the technological process in the classroom is really progress at all. I hold no opinion on either side currently, but if I choose this topic, I'm sure that will change.
  2. The use of rhetoric to influence others.
    • I find the art of speech a fascinating subject. Just from our small class discussion, my mind was swirling while I thought about the greatest speakers and their ability to influence people. Whether it's Dr. MLK or the spooky Adolf Hitler, both had the ability to influence the masses.
  3. What is the best way to formulate an Argument?
    • This topic is still a little unformulated and falls along the lines of number 2, but I feel that there is still some insight to be gained here. Like I've said, I'm no guru in the realm of arguing--except with my mom-- but my paper could be about the building up of critical thought in terms of an argumentative paper.

How it is Going to Happen

Throughout the next couple of weeks, I'm sure these topics are subject to change. But it's
good to have a general idea of where I'm going with this thing. I still need to do
the reading for Thursday's class, so my thoughts and ideas will be different in the next
couple of hours, but that is OK. All three of these topics relate to English 445 because they fall in line for what is meant to be gained from this class. I want to be right, not wrong this will surely be the case in the coming weeks.
